About Verka

The brand ‘Verka’ derives its name from the first modern dairy established in North India by Government of Punjab at Amritsar in the village named Verka in 1963. Under Operation Flood, consequent to the establishment of National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in 1966 and replication of the three tier cooperative set up in the dairy sector (based on “Anand Patern”), the Punjab State Milk Producers’ Federation was established in 1973 as the apex dairy cooperative converting the existing dairies at Amritsar, Ludhiana and Mohali into Cooperative Milk Unions marketing the brand ‘Verka’.
